semthex Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Latets beta of "Nebukadnezar" is fixing a security flaw for you. The security flaw MOKB-09-11-2006, which was reported during the "month of kernel bugs" and which seems still to be unfixed by Apple has been fixed now. I hope you Enjoy. Thanks to moomo for his information about this bug. I tolk the patch like it was done a year ago by the FreeBSD crew and it seems to be fine with it. Dev should also care about security of users so this has been done. Enjoy! For anybody who is confused about beta: This is a beta because it is not final yet, final will be source release with SSE2 emulation according to/available under APSL pre Nov. 8, since this is not done yet it can only be obtained via the usale beta test channel and is not made public available. This Version is very close to final except the SSE2 emu is missing yet. Improvemnts are made nearly daily, small but steady, if you want to suggest a feature too, feel free to PM me.

semthex Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 Hmm many infos about everything are available from IRC for any of you who were intrested :-) A new beta is also around, may adress some ppl with hibernate issues on INTEL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graphic Design Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Semthex, U are so GREAT!!! We are, who use your KERNEL, so proud of U!!!! Is it time to UPDATE the KERNEL? I hope I can use the LIVE UPDATE from _Prasys_ to UPDATE this one!!!! Thanks again!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marliwahoo Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Wow - a kernel even more secure than the "real" one. Great job. You may already know this. FYI - System profiler sees my Pent D 950 as "Unknown". In your previous nebukadnezar kernels it was seen as Core Duo or Core 2 Dou. Xbench may be just a little slower with this kernel (about a half point to a point - though it is hard to measure) Thanks for your great efforts !

Prasys Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 live update works fine for this , in fact i am writing a newer version of LifeUpdater and kernel debugger. Do not worry it works ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thegn Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I tried this new kernel, but I'm sorry to say that it did not fix (at least my), hibernation problem. It falls asleep ok. When pressing a button, everything spins up, blue screen shows a while, then turns to a black screen with mouse pointer, and if I move the mouse it turns to the colorwheel pointer. I can move the pointer, but nothing more happens on the black screen. I have to force a reset. Going back to mifki's for a while, it works flawlessly with hibernation. Great job though with the security fix! Hopefully these hibernation issues will be solved, too :-) Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semthex Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 Please send a bug report with all required infos (prasys can provide a script for it) and I willr eview it later if I am at home. Thanks. Btw. It fixes a security bug atm. hibernate is still in testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thegn Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Hi, Semthex, I understand it's still in beta. Nevertheless I keep on nagging you about hibernation ;-) Don't take it hard, you have done a wonderful job! I'm sure you'll fix the hibernation issue :-) _Prasys_ Can you provide a link for the script you have that gives all the output Semthex might need? Maybe make a "sticky" of the link here at the forums so people can use it and post detailed information of value for the developers.

Prasys Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 The script is out , you could get it from the sticky. It does everything I will try to link it with AppleScript so it will launch Mail and send it to semthex with everything. I am learning AppleScript , its a work in progress !

semthex Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 Anyone who is intrested in fixed kernel, can obtain it from live update now. Prasys has also updated the scripts a bit an a bugreporter is now available too. If you want to submit bugs, pls use it. It will gather all the needed infos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttyseven Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 OMG! It's really great a not offical kernel is more secure than a kernel provided by the original vendor! I just run beta3 from IRC now and it is a machine. My bench scores went up about 10 points with it ... jiiihhhaaa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doosje Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Use the script is the fastest, safest WAY for UPDATE KERNEL from Semthex! It's not compeltely like that. .. the script certainly moves the kernel. I've downloaded manuallly the new kernel, renamed it to "mach_test" then chmod and chown'd it . The a reboot and pressing F8 to get my bootmenu. i typed "mach_test" their to test my new kernel. everything worked so when i was in osx again i moved the original kernel to mach_backup and en mach_test to mach_kernel ps: Thanks for the tips HAGAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
